sometime in the last year I lamented on this problem on CD.

If you view it from an economic perspective it makes sense.

Open container laws require auto operators to pay fines/etc if they are caught with an open container. In other words - there is a government incentive that motivates drivers to get rid of the open container - out the window it goes.

Yes - they are that phenomonally stupid. they are drinking and driving and polluting.

back to economic incentive - I suppose if you pick up all the cans and put them in your car then you are at risk of paying fines. That is why they make trucks, put them in the back.

roadside trash is really annoying. There is a class of people that really really do not care about anyone or anything but themselves.
